We made it!
Our second annual 'Moms & Girls' camping trip was a success (and so much fun!).

Recently, I have been reading Richard Louv's 'Last Child in the Woods' .

It was so gratifying to watch the girls find themselves happily at home playing in the pine forest at our local Provincial Park.  Over the course of three days, the only toys they played with (beach and woods) were shovels and rakes as they cavorted through the stumps, needles and downed trunks surrounding our site.  No signs of nature defecit here!

Playing together,they learned a lot about cooperation~ you can't move that log by yourself!
And a lot about balance....
...which means learning about falling, too!
They met some new friends....
How do you get a little more nature into your lives in the summer time? ♥♥
